Aloys Junior, a British cruiserweight, has shocked the boxing world with his amazing power.

Junior has seven consecutive knockout wins on his professional record and has been compared to heavyweight superstar Mike Tyson due to his devastating power.

During an appearance in the talkSPORT offices, Junior smashed the punch machine record, scoring higher than Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou who previously hit an arcade machine.

And Junior, who will return to the ring against Oronzo Birardi at York Hall this weekend, has insisted his earth-shattering power is something he carried from a young age.

“I’ve been blessed with great genetics, but overall it has to be work ethic as well,” Junior exclusively told.

“It is certainly work ethic, I have worked for a very young age on my explosiveness, and I have carried on working hard on it throughout my adulthood and professional career.

“It is something that I continue to work on to this day, my punch power and my explosiveness.

“I struggled to find sparring partners but not so much now, I always used to try and knock them out.

“Nowadays I don’t try to do so as much, I try to use them a bit more for work and rounds.

“If you are trying to knock these guys out, it is fun, but when are you going to spar again? It is very counter-productive.

“I even wear bigger gloves now around 20lbs, so to make sure I don’t hurt my sparring partners as much.”

Junior has been training under the stewardship of experienced trainer Ben Davison, who is the current trainer of former two-time heavyweight world champion Joshua.

Junior has impressed in training with Joshua and Itauma.

Heavyweight prodigy Moses Itauma, who has also been coined as ‘Britain’s Mike Tyson’ is also a recent stablemate of the exciting young cruiserweight.

Joshua and Itauma have been in scintillating form, in particular the former who has knocked out Otto Wallin and Francis Ngannou since inheriting Davison as a cornerman.

His promoter Frank Warren has insisted he is becoming known for becoming the most heavy-handed within the camp.

He said Jim White and Simon Jordan: “A cracking fight between Aloys and Berardi.

“Aloys has been training with Ben Davison, and everybody in that camp says he is the hardest puncher in the camp.

“That camp includes Moses and AJ so it will be an exciting fight, and he is an exciting prospect.”

The 21-year-old has a bright future ahead of him, despite falling to defeat on his professional debut.

Junior took a brave step-up on his maiden appearance, taking on prospect Michal Soczynski, and losing on a narrow points decision.

But Junior believes he can go to new levels after impressing alongside the two talented fighters.

“Ben is helping me get to the next level,” Junior continued.

“He has increase my IQ by like ten times, by really understanding the sport ins and outs.

“Knowing when to do and not to do something, being aware of what is happening in front of you.”

He concluded on his ambitions: “Yeah absolutely I would love to be at British title level.

“I’m boxing for a WBA inter-continental level title, British level is around the corner. Maybe next year, or maybe even end of this year.

“Expect an explosive knockout to carry me on my way.”

The current British cruiserweight champion is Jack Massey.

Massey beat Isaac Chamberlain to claim the British and Commonwealth belts in June – a win which has put a target on his back for the likes of Junior.

At 21, Junior need not rush into title fights though, as he has plenty of time to learn and develop before reaching the point where fans will call for him to prove himself on the big stage.

For the time being, starting Saturday night, Junior just needs to keep winning and impressing with his stunning punch power.
